* Unfortunately, as a consequence of the UK government choosing to withdraw from the European Union, we are no longer able to accept subscriptions or send Caerdroia to addresses in Europe. Current customs procedures and fees imposed on arrival for small packages sent from the UK make it unfeasible to process orders to Europe. Hopefully this ridiculous bureaucracy that is now interfering with trade and the exchange of knowledge will be reversed in the future and normal service can be resumed in due course.

Meanwhile, a high resolution digital PDF of Caerdroia 49 can be supplied for €5 to European readers on request.
